TEE ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
Sioux Falls Press: superintendent
Gilleas Of tbs Illinois Central spent the
day yesterday looking over the proposed
line into this city and examining into
the resources OF Sioux Falls and yieinIty.
He left for Dubuque en- the Milwaukee
and from there will go back to Cherokee.
He will then drive over the line from
Cherokee to this city reaching here again
next Friday. MIR. Gilleas is very much
in love with Sioux Falls. He carried
away with him specimens of the jasper
both rough and polished, He looks up
on the building OF the road to Sioux
that can be learned it is safe to predict
that the Illinois Central will have trains
running into the city by the time snow
flies. The work en- the survey was be,
gun by Surveyor Rice yesterday and no
time will be- lost in pushing it to a rapid
completion. Mr. Hill of SIOUX City is
working a corps from Cherokee towards
this city.
Dubuque Herald, June 5th: 1t seems
that the Illinois. railroad company, now
that it has commenced building extern
sions to it's present lines, or entire new
roads, 10 to keep 1t up for ONE time to
come. 1t is stated On good authority
that the company now contemplates the
constr fiction of about 800 miles more of
new road, most of which will be in Iowa /.
Inis is divided into three different
pieces, the preliminary survey of which
is to be made forthwith. One of these
lines will probably be built from LIE
Mars to Yankton, D.. This will be
surveyed at once.
The line from Cherokee, northwest to
Sioux Fails, Dakota, is said to be- about
e~ighty-one mile long. A tLird line Ia
designed to run west from Usage, To-,
on the OeLtrel's line which runs north
from Waterloo into Minnesota-to con-
meet with the line from Cherokee TO
Sioux Falls at or near Primghar. The
line from Usage west is about l35 miles
long.
An official of the road says that the
LIE M -Yankton line and the Cherokee
Sioux Falls line will probably be built
this year.
1t looks very much as though the IL
lipois Central people intended to run q
road into the Black Hills country be-
fore they get through with it, as to ex-
tend their line simply to Yankton for
the business that would cone from there
does not seem probable, although Yapk-
ton is q good place to stop at for a year
orso. When the Great Sioux reservation
is opened by congress next year, as il
probably will be, the Illinois Central
viii be likely be seen steering for the
Black Hills,

City that the surveyors of the Illinois

ing carefully made. The general belle
